A package to find & import menu.py files in all packages colocated with this package. Currently Works for Nuke and Maya.
I like the idea of using a virtual environment and pip to manage python packages for these DCC apps. The latest version of pipenv handles this very nicely: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv
If you would like to contribute code for other dcc programs to use this system, please fork and create a pull request.
set these environment variables so maya and nuke can load them appropriately:
maya uses the PYTHONPATH, and will load userSetup.py nuke uses NUKE_PATH, and will load init.py
csh/tcsh example:
setenv NUKE_PATH "${NUKE_PATH}:${VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
setenv PYTHONPATH "${PYTHONPATH}:${VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/python2.7/site-packages"bash example:
export NUKE_PATH="${NUKE_PATH}:${VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:${VIRTUAL_ENV}/lib/python2.7/site-packages"see https://github.com/nzanepro/pyvfx.boilerplate for an example of a menu.py in use.
